Last Saturday, a friend of ours had his 8th birthday party. The party was held at a pool/waterside place located further up the mountain. We all arrived with our kids, presents, sweaters and bathingsuits knowing it would be way too cold or/and rainy for the kids to be in the pool and use the waterslides. The kids, however had a blast. For 5 hours, they swam , slide and ate while the parents sat poolside in their wool sweaters chatting. The party lasted all day and by the time we got home, the kids were all exhausted and fell into bed early. The next morning I realized just how much sun my children really got, even thought there was thick cloud cover and even some periods of rain. Syd got the worse of it. She has such sensitive skin. I texted all the other mothers, and all the kids were burnt to a crisp. Talk about mother guilt! Syd's nose was blistered and her back was so painful. I actually had to keep her home from school for 3 days because she had open oozing wounds on her nose. It was not a pretty sight.
Besides the fact that they all burned, the kids had a riot. A great day of memories.
Sydney has a new friend here in Panama. Her name is Caroline. Here she is below with Alanya. The three of them have such a great time together. It does my heart good to see Sydney have such dear friends to grow up with.
Sydney, Caroline and Alanya
Until I blog again.
